No one says cash is a scam because the finance bros on wall street use it to scam people in far worse ways.

But for some reason it's functionally impossible to separate crypto from the scamers who use it.

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 days ago

Well, the crypto bros only seem to come up with scammy uses for crypto, whereas cash can be exchanged for goods and services.

That's not true, crypto is also useful for illicit purchases.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It actually isn't, because the blockchain is a multiple ledger system you can trace a coin back to every wallet who ever owned it and therefor it's functionally impossible to launder.

Instead, you can get anonymized credit cards via online services or route money through certain foreign banks and then you're basically a ghost.

Since you missed the point of the comment above, scams exist for every currency. What crypto brings to the table is secure, as in cryptographically secured wallets keeping your digital access to funds yours alone, and decentralized, as in no government can rapidly devalue it or shut it down, multiple ledger finances.

But yes, don't buy the hip new coins because of any influencers, and don't fall for "it's never going back down" pump and dumps.

Awww... I want a peanut....

EXPLAIN HOW!

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago

there is a very small subset of cryptos that can be exchanged for real world goods and services too.
let me introduce you to my new invention: SuperDuperCoin!

I'm joking. but the first part is true.

[-] BerenstainsMonster@kbin.earth 23 points 2 days ago

Both things can be true: cash is a scam and so is crypto. The reason I despise crypto is because they just reinvented capitalism, when the old one was working just fine (in the sense that capitalism is not a broken system: it is functioning just as designed, benefiting the ruling class). So now we've got two ways they're scamming us.

[-] kbal@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

Money is not capitalism. You can have money without capitalism, as the whole world did for most of recorded history.

[-] BerenstainsMonster@kbin.earth 3 points 1 day ago

I did not say money is capitalism. But I will say creating a new currency without first abolishing capitalism will just lead to more ways to do capitalism.

Though I was highly tempted to lock or remove this post just to twist an admin's nose with my modicum of power.

[-] ex_06@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 days ago

Mod disapproved :3

I think it should go into solarpunk art or solarpunk propaganda

“Meme” it’s a very general concept ok, but here in the sub “memes” is clearly for the comedy ones lol

It’s just artwork with catchy slogan, no laugh involved u.u

You're right, but squid guy can do whatever he wants, in my book. He gets all the leeway for maintaining this place

[-] ex_06@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 days ago

so because he controls the means of production he gets to decide? is this capitalism? 😳😏🤓
